Renovating your place can be an overwhelming task.  However, with a little planning ahead of time, you can avoid unnecessary frustration.

As you are designing your new floor plan, contact an AC Company you know and trust so you can determine how your future plans will impact the layout of your AC equipment.  In part 2 of 2, we discuss a few more considerations for a successful renovation.

Consider Zoned Cooling Before Renovating

Zoning is an option if you decide to replace your AC equipment with new, high efficiency equipment. A zoning system divides your home into multiple zones, each controlled by its own thermostat.

This allows you to set each room to a different temperature, instead of having to cool the entire home to one temperature.  As your trusted AC Company, we will advise you on how to make this work best for your situation.

This upgrade will help keep your utility bills at bay, which can be a great help financially during a renovation.

Keep The Workspace Clean As You Renovate

Dust and debris find a way of getting into everything.

Regular dusting, vacuuming, and sweeping will help improve indoor air quality and keep debris out of your system which can be damaging.

When possible, ask your contractor to perform any cutting or sanding outside. And don’t forget to cover your furniture.

AC Advice Includes Covering Vents Before Renovating

To protect your vents from dust and debris making their way into your system and your home, simply cover the vents in the room where the renovation is currently taking place.

PRO TIP: If your AC is running, you will want to limit the number of vents you close to avoid restricted air flow. Contact us, your SW Florida #1 AC Company, for expert advice.

AC Advice Includes Duct Cleaning Or Sanitizing

After the job is complete, your AC Company may recommend professional duct cleaning or sanitizing.

This will ensure debris is removed from air ducts, air flow is not blocked, and you’re not breathing in construction material residue. Plus, cleaning your air ducts increases the efficiency and longevity of your HVAC system.

AC Advice Includes Improving Indoor Air Quality
